Not as good as it used to be!
Radiator in room not working, hotel full so couldn’t change room. Window also didn’t fully close so draughty. Contacted receptionist, and after maintenance man couldn’t fix radiator was given a portable electric heater which helped. Room was also a little shabby with chopped pain on radiator and wallpaper around it a little loose. Paint work on stairs also needed some attention. Not as nice for a 4 star property as it used to be. However, breakfast and leisure facilities excellent. Parking and location also good.

Perfect location for walking in town. Breakfast was excellent. Be prepared to drag your suitcase up the stairs as there is no elevator for second floor. Hotel staff was great especially Eildigh at front desk.

Not a modern hotel and the only heating in the room was a portable heater. We were told the main heating system was on a timer, but that did not happen. Staff was very friendly. The dining area was very busy with bus tours. Great location close to Castle.
